As Promised...

See.. I told you I'd be back!

The girls had a really good Halloween. It was a year in the making (literally.) Last year, Madison was Sharpay from High School Musical. She and her friends planned to be all of the characters from the movie and they planned to go to our Creekside fall festival together. This year, since Halloween was on a Friday night, our church decided not to compete with football, and not have the festival. The kids were so upset because they had worked on this plan for a year! So, we decided to invite everyone over to our house to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. It was so much fun and the kids had a great time. I love Halloween because it's the one night out of the year where your entire neighborhood gets out! As it turns out, I was actually glad our festival was cancelled, because the evening turned out to be so much fun!

OK- here we go. WARNING! Lot's of pictures below. Grandparents will want to keep reading, but I'm not sure anyone else will!
This was our group. Notice the two themes!

The Peter Pan themed group. Yep, he's in tights! :)

The High School Musical group.

Ryan and Sharpay

Gabriella and Sharpay

The blondes!

Even Allie got in on the fun. (She pooped on someone's sidewalk, so Steve had to leave the festivities to clean it up!)

Our kids don't do things in the traditional way. Instead of walking up to the door and saying "Trick-or-treat," our kids walked to the door and sang "We're All in this Together." A few people knew what that song was, but most didn't! It was really funny!



This was towards the end, so they were petering out a little!


Peter Pan was a gentleman!


Ella spent most of the night in this position. The rest of the kids would run to the door, turn and start yelling, "Come on Ella, Hurry up, Let's go Ella," etc. If you know Ella, that method does not work with her. That only made her go slower. It was funny!


This was about an hour into trick-or-treating. Notice the wings, headband and jack-o-lantern are gone!

Finally, the loot. This was a small portion of what the kids got. It will disappear, and it won't all be eaten (if you know what I mean!)

I'm going to try to do a better job of posting, so come back soon!
